As team India emerged victorious in the just-concluded Test series between India and Bangladesh, the commentators in the expert panel made headlines for getting involved in a heated argument on-air.
While the energy was at its peak as India was heading towards the win, Harsha Bhogle and Sanjay Manjrekar got involved in banter while talking about the visibility of the pink balls and this is when things got out of control. The heated argument started when Harsha Bhogle opined that consulting the players should be the best option to get the views on the pink ball.
What happened during the short discussion about the pink ball has become the talk of the town. Netizens just can’t stop slamming and lashing out on Sanjay for the way he talked to Harsha Bhogle. From calling him arrogant to requesting BCCI’s new President Sourav Ganguly to end his commentary contract, people are leaving no stone unturned to slam him.
Amidst all the slamming, one of the twitter users came up with the idea of pitching the ouster of Manjrekar from the panel of experts. Another user added that Murali Kartik’s name in the list of commentators that should be removed. He wrote:
“Plead dada @SGanguly99 to add @kartikmurali to the list too. Absolutely pathetic”

“Good one”

Add @bhogleharsha in the list too. We miss minute cricketing details from him. Such irritating, repetitive commentary.

It’s so so nice of you murali. It takes courage to politely reply to a criticism, that too unnecessary. You are a good commentator and a better human being.

I don’t see anyone from our country apart from #SunilGavaskar and @RaviShastriOfc as good commentators. These two are best. As Ravi is the coach now, we have only one left. Most of the time, We watch the match on tv by making the volume mute. Please do something @SGanguly99

@BeingCricketMad dude Murali Karthik @kartikmurali was a highly skilled spinner. Just that he was born wrong eras of Kumble and Harbhajan. Otherwise he is a gem of a commentator and analyst?

Please, make us feel engaged with your thoughts n just make us feel thrilled while listening to you guys rather than going mute!!!! Especially @sanjaymanjrekar very biased towards Mumbai players. Always tells, “at that time when we were playing and bla bla bla” irritates us..
